Instructions
Cook the Quinoa
Rinse the quinoa thoroughly under cold water. Bring chicken broth to a boil in a medium saucepan, add the quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until all liquid is absorbed.
Season the Salmon
Pat salmon fillets completely dry with paper towels. Drizzle with olive oil and season generously on both sides with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Sear the Salmon
Heat a cast iron or stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Place salmon skin-side down and cook without moving for 4 minutes, then flip and cook for another 3 minutes until cooked through.
Assemble the Bowl
Divide the cooked quinoa between two bowls. Add a handful of fresh baby spinach to each bowl and place the seared salmon fillet on top. Drizzle with any remaining pan juices and serve immediately.
